Story of the Fantasea/National Geographic 1992 Expedition to the amazing Aldabra Atoll in the Indian Ocean.
Thanks to John Boyle Producer and Director and Robin Kewel videographer for this excellent work.

Back in February (of 2013), I found myself back on my way back Aldabra - an unique and pristine atoll nestled in the western Indian Ocean. This was to be my third visit to this spectacular world heritage site, my others being in 2008 and 2009. On this expedition our team came across quite a spectacular little natural occurrence that I have not really heard of, or seen any footage of before.

On the remote atoll of Aldabra supplies are delivered twice a year. During the heat of the day we unload from the supply boat to our boats to the team on shore. Lots of heavy lifting, usually rewarded with a cold beer! Look out for some interesting tortoise behaviour

Here is a taste of the amazing underwater world of the Seychelles Islands - spices up with a little kreol music. This is just one of the films on our Mahe to Aldabra DVD which has features from every island that can be accessed by divers - and some that can't!

This series of 6 half hour films visits six tiny dots of islands studded around the planets oceans and showcases their very different marine life and phenomena. Ranging from the cold seas of New Zealand to the warm tropical waters of Seychelles, the Rock Islands of Palau to Costa Ricas legendary Cocos Island. The series also visits the rich seas of Papua New Guinea and Brazils Fernando de Noronha – the island of the dolphins. Acquired by National Geographic and broadcast worldwide, this is a truly global collection of films.

Aldabra, the world's largest coral atoll, is in the Aldabra Group of islands in the Indian Ocean that form part of the Seychelles. Uninhabited and extremely isolated Aldabra is virtually untouched by humans, has distinctive island fauna including the Aldabra Giant Tortoise, and is designated a World Heritage Site.
